Durward I. Harwood, age 72, of Lake Odessa, went Home to be with his Lord
suddenly and peacefully at his home on Friday morning, October 2, 2009.  Derby
was born in Clarksville, on October 25, 1936 to Irwin and Agnes (Roth) Harwood.
 He graduated from Saranac High School in 1954, and was married to his high

Following his graduation from high school, Derby began his employment with
General Motors, and worked there for nearly 40 years.  He had also been a member
of the National Guard Band for six years.  Derby loved spending time and
relaxing with his family and friends.  He will be remembered by many for his
gentle and friendly ways.  Derby also enjoyed music, and was actively involved
in his church choir at the Sebewa Baptist Church.  He genuinely enjoyed the
beauty of God’s creation.  He will be greatly missed.
